My Story

Theon Alleyne is a former securities regulator, and SME on Broker-Dealer Regulation. He specializes in helping financial institutions to transform their risk and compliance program, including Financial Crimes Compliance (Fraud, AML, KYC, and Sanctions), and sales practice conduct risk.

As a leader of multi-disciplinary, cross-functional teams in the FinTech and RegTech Advisory practice, Theon oversees the end-to-end strategies and solutions to prevent payment fraud. The leading solutions leverage cognitive technology, artificial and human intelligence, and can be applied to all financial services payment channels.

His personal interest in Decentralize Finance (DeFi), led to the creation of an advisory practice to help startups understand the cryptocurrency and digital wallet regulatory framework, which leads to some offerings being deemed securities or lottery in certain jurisdictions. He is a leading resource on DeFi Compliance.

Based on his training from CommonGood Careers and Robin Hood, Theon provides pro-bono compliance services to nonprofits. Pre-Covid, Theon engaged in quarterly community outreach nationally and internationally, to bring positivity and hope to challenged communities. Since Covid, he has coached and mentored young professionals from South East Asia and Africa.
